Unable to make thumb drive bootable
location: 7forums.com - date: December 8, 2010
I just recently bought a new motherboard (old one died), and didn't realize that it had no IDE port on it for easy Windows 7 re-installation (my only available dvd drive is still IDE). After trying to find a friend with one, I ended up trying to make a bootable thumb drive using the Windows 7 bootable USB drive utility and my father's computer, and every single time I've tried to do it, it gives an error right at the end about bootsect.exe saying it isn't bootable. Any suggestions?

Windows XP will not transfer zip file to thumb drive
location: winsecrets.com - date: December 17, 2011
I have a computer with Windows XP Pro SP3 installed on it, and I'm trying to transfer a rather large ~5GB folder to my thumb drive, with is 16GB in size, and is formatted as FAT 32. The trouble is, while XP does copy the folder without issue, when I zip the folder (which saves about 500MB) and then attempt a transfer, it gives me the "insufficient disk size" error, although I do have plenty of space on the thumb drive.
Is this error due to the FAT32 4GB file size limit? Is a zip folder treated as an individual file, and thus unable to transfer, being too big, while the unzipped folder is transferred via individual file? If so, then I can always transfer the folder, and then zip it on the thumb drive, right? Or would that still video help | post reply | read more

"Cannot find the item" when trying to copy files to thumb drive
location: microsoft.com - date: September 15, 2012
Original Title: With some USB thumbdrives & Windows Vista or 7, copying larger files gets a "Cannot find this item" error, telling me to verify file's location. Doesn't happen with XP.
Hi, I've seen this problem posted as far back as 2008 in regards to MS Windows Vista and now MS Windows 7, but no solution anywhere that I can find. I bought a SanDisk Cruzer 8G thumbdrive (USB) a couple of weeks ago & when I attempted to copy a .avi file
to it (around 800Megs), it got midway into copying the file and then hung, giving me an error after a few moments stating that it "Cannot find this item. This is no longer located in C:\<foldername>\<foldername>.... Verify the item's location and try again."

Making a bootable thumb drive.
location: winsecrets.com - date: March 28, 2013
I have a valid ISO file which I am able to burn to a CD, but when I try to make a flash drive bootable it fails. I have downloaded two different tools from MS web site. I have used the CD which is supposed to create the flash drive and I have downloaded the program associated with this. and that fails also. I have formatted two flash drives and that didn't work. I even formatted a 8GB from 32 to NTSF and that didn't work. I called a tech at the local computer repair shop and he couldn't help. The ISO works just fine on a CD, but will not install on the flash drive. Also I tried the usb slots in several places and that didn't help. Here is the link to where the software is located for downloading. Maybe someone can tell me what I need to dvideo help | post reply | read more
